I found that I wasn't very consistent with my ratings. I would look back at a book months later and think "Why did I rate it that?!?" but my review would remain the same. Whether or not a blog has a rating system doesn't affect my reading of it. It's just not something I do.YA Bibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05002351381490043295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958411746000376180.post-62772327960120878532011-01-18T15:22:13.740-05:002011-01-18T15:22:13.740-05:00Thanks Brenna. :)Thanks Brenna. :)Tahleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330160603781228707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958411746000376180.post-37037713375646454912011-01-18T15:19:06.071-05:002011-01-18T15:19:06.071-05:00Good luck with this challenge!

I was tempted to sign up but I'm already in two others and I didn't want to overwhelm myself and feel like everything I read throughout the year was for a challenge. But the non-fiction challenge is great.<br /><br />Also, about the ratings. I participated in Jamie's discussion and was against them. I'd rather read why a reader did/didn't like a book: whether or not they connected with the characters or felt the themes were especially relevant. This isn't to say I don't read the reviews of readers who rate their books, I just don't pay attention to the ratings. I also find that bloggers who don't rate reviews almost give better ones. Maybe because they rely less on a rating system and more on what they say about the book.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10780185535345559390noreply@blogger.com
